Hello Boost List! ================= I'm glad to introduce updated version of Boost.Locale library: This library was designed for Boost and created because of needs CppCMS framework. I'm looking forward to formal review and general inputs from Boost.Community. Documentation: http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/boost_locale/html/index.html Download: From: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cppcms/files/ File: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cppcms/files/boost_locale/boost_locale.zip/... Boost.Locale is a library that brings high quality localization facilities in C++ way. It provides the natural glue between C++ locales framework, iostreams and powerful ICU library giving: * Correct case conversion, case folding and normalization * Collation including support of 4 Unicode collation levels. * Date, time, timezone and calendar manipulations, formatting and parsing including transparent support of calendars other then Gregorian. * Boundary analysis for characters, words, sentences and line-breaks. * Number formatting, spelling and parsing. * Monetary formatting and parsing. * Powerful message formatting including support plural forms, using GNU catalogs. * Character set conversion. * Transparent support of 8-bit character sets like Latin1. * Support of char, wchar_t and C++0x char16_t, char32_t strings and streams. New in this version: ==================== a. Fully redesigned break iterator interface b. Added date_time and calendar support that allow manipulating with dates over non-Gregorian calendars c. Implemented full set of unit-tests d. Added support of many platforms and compilers. e. Lots of bug fixes. f. Complete reference with Doxygen g.
